Online Sports Betting in Nevada
Legal sports betting is obviously not a new development for Nevada. In fact, if anything it has hurt the Nevada sports betting market as they lost what was a nation-wide monopoly.
Seemingly overnight, the state went from an industry-standard to a laggard in the industry. Their current mobile betting laws prohibit competition from the industry’s top sportsbook and, as a result, the product available to NV residents is a step below what we find in a state like New Jersey.
Despite this, there are still some great online options if you want to place some bets. Though, you’ll have to register in-person at one of the many sportsbooks throughout the state, and that goes for some deposits and withdrawals as well.
For promotions, only one online sportsbook offers a bonus, although, that must take place in person by presenting the sportsbooks with the promo code.
Despite offering excellent bonuses across the nation, as shown below, these are the online sportsbooks in Nevada that offer some of the best gaming in the industry.
Top Nevada Sportsbooks for 2024
As we mentioned in the open, Nevada essentially godfathered in the brick-and-mortar sportsbooks in the state when they legalized mobile sports betting. This makes it impossible for sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet to enter the NV and LV markets. As such, the complete list of sportsbooks and sportsbook apps available in NV looks much different from the typical states that have legalized sports betting.

While Las Vegas might not be the premier sports betting state it once was, there are still plenty of options to get in on the action. There are plenty of sportsbooks, both retail and online that you can place sports bets in.
